“I wanted to create a concept for a desk top lamp that balanced the combination of both form and function, with the aluminium arc specifically designed to look stylish in the home or office while allow the light to turn and slide. I also used a low voltage LED light source which ensures the exposed surfaces remain perfectly safe, creating a highly usable, functional and aesthetically pleasing design,” he said.

Since success in the competition and graduating this year, Joe has been in further contact with a number of lighting design companies, with a view to developing his concept further.
